Trichy: Founder of PMK Dr.
Ramadoss has condemned the recent arrest of 23 fishermen Nagapattinam by the Sri Lankan Navy.
In a statement on Thursday, he urged the central government to take steps for the liberation of imprisoned fishermen and found a permanent solution to end the attack on Indian fishermen by Navy Sri Lanka.
According to the Sri Lankan Navy site, a quick attack craft from 04 Attack Craft Flotilla (4 FAF) and a land patrol plane attached to the North Naval Command arrested two Indian fishing vessels and 23 fishermen for hunting at the point off point Sri Lanka Pedro and Vetlaikeni on October 13.
The Navy also seized their catch and fishermen used for ‘trawling down.’ Ramadoss said the central government should not allow violations by the Sri Lankan Navy.
He stated that the maritime distance between India and Sri Lanka was limited to very few kilometers in the Sea of Nagapattinam.
“The sea is narrow, does not leave the room to eliminate the international maritime boundary (IMBL) in the area.
Therefore, crossing the border due to errors by Indian fishermen and vice versa is a natural government.
The central government should condemn his arrest.
The international organization insists on handling such a situation smoothly Without arrest, “Ramadoss said.
PMK leaders put responsibility to protect the livelihood of the families of the fishermen who were arrested in the central government.
He insisted that the central government had to continue talks with the Sri Lankan government for this issue.
